Goodwin is auctioning off an all PSA 8 1952 Topps master set, and I intend on trying to use it to upgrade my set. Anyone else taking a crack at it as well?

    I got their catalog in the mail yesterday. Is it just me, or do a lot of those cards look under graded? After flipping through a few pages I couldn't help but think there would be some 8.5's and 9's in that set, if the cards were at one of the more "bump friendly" auction houses.

    Don't get me wrong, it's great to see cards that look really strong for the grade in an auction house. I wish it happened more often.

    I won't but that was nice of Bill to send me a catalogue. It's a nice reference piece for viewing the entire set since I have no desire to invest any more major money into cards.

    I threw a # of bids last night, but only one took. To say that this is some incredible set is an understatement, but I was surprised to see the amt of bidding with still three weeks to go! Plus, Bill Goodwin is a great guy and a great person to deal with having done much busn with him over the years.

    I could buy the commons... but I'd have to construct a tiny shack out of them and make it my home.

    Doing great Marz! How are you?


    Morgoth,

    No I'm not out completely. I still have my '72 Kelloggs set on the Registry and I'm buying some PSA 7 and 8's in 1967. I still have about 600 cards from various years I'm slowly selling off.

    Some stats re the 1952 Topps Goodwin Auction--

    There were 159 low numbers (1-80) that sold for $566,305 (incl hammer).
    That was 3.30 X the current SMR total of $171,779 for the same cards. SMR please take note when you update your prices.

    There were 97 high number (311-407) that sold for $377,378 (incl hammer) .
    That was 1.72 X the current SMR total of $196,300 for the same cards. SMR still needs to take note.

    I hope the SMR is paying attention! image

    I feel fortunate that my little old PSA 8 #364 Sukey cost me "only" $1,100!

    They sent me an e-mail featuring the two Spahns and that exquisite Mathews. One Warren went for a little over $1,200 and the other (better cenetered) one for a little less than $2,000. Obviously, the Mathews went for big coin, namely a bit over $41,000.

    I'm afraid I didn't bid on any of the three.
